About: Hi my name is Ashley and I have worked with animals since I was 15. I worked at VCA Woodford Animal Hospital and Keshlyn kennel also advanced animal care an emergency vet. I know what it takes to care for your babies. I have a 6ft privacy fenced in backyard with cameras so I can keep an eye your loved ones while they are having some outdoor time. I do have 2 dog pens outside that MY OWN dogs will stay in while your dogs are outside just for safety reasons. My dogs are good with other dogs but just to keep everyone safe until they get to know each other better I will keep them separated but they will be able to still sniff and see each other till they get comfortable. I am home majority of the day so your pet will be with me unless I go to the grocery store. They will stay inside the house and have access to the backyard when they want to do run around. I do have a 10 yr old daughter but she is extremely intuitive about animals and does know how to care and knows the signs when they are nervous or scared. She tries her best to make them feel as comfortable as possible. We do enjoy evening walks around the neighborhood and would be taking your loved ones on the walks with us so they can explore the new area. I have no issues with puppies or senior dogs or dogs on medications I am able to care for them all with my experience I have seen it all and nothing really surprises me anymore. I am fine with helping crate or house training puppies I know consistency is key in training them and I am up to the task. I am home majority of the time especially during the summer months I am home 24/7 unless out running errands. So you pet will always have someone home to cuddle and play with Fenced in back yard with a camera so I can keep an eye on them constantly. My dogs would be locked up in the dog pens that I feed them in everyday so they are used to going in them so it’s not an issue to keep them contained while yours is outside playing and romping around

About: I have worked in many areas in the animal industry, from a Humane Society to a horse farm. I wanted to become a veterinarian, so I had to gain experience in many different areas. I have many years of experience with livestock. I am a stay-at-home mom, I have plenty of time to come spoil your pet(s)! Being a SAHM allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I strive to keep the routine very similar to what the pets are used to. I currently come to the pets home to care for them.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 6 years now. I love puppies, bully breeds, senior dogs, and everything in between. I have experience walking, feeding, giving meds, and playing with dogs. I’m happy to send picture updates of your pup! I am a teacher, so summers are ideal for getting your pets out and about! I have a very flexible schedule, perfect for adventures and quality time. I have a fenced in area at my house, comfortable controlling a leash, I am able to crate a dog if needed, and love on your pets no matter what!

About: I grew up with all kinds of pets- dogs ranging from pomeranians to great danes, cats, reptiles, and small mammals. I spent some time working for a luxury dog hotel and daycare and have pet sat for many families over the years. Now, in addition to caring for people's furry friends, I also work as a holder for a mobile company that does dog, cat, and other pet nails. Pet care is my full-time job! When I'm not pet sitting or walking dogs, I'm helping with pet pedicures. My household is on a second shift schedule, so I can provide check ins later at night and I usually get around to my first morning check ins by 10 a.m. (unless you request earlier). I do not provide care in my home because I currently rent. In your home I am able to provide feeding, watering, potty breaks, play time and attention, (non-injected) medications, and more upon request. When walking your dog(s), I am very attentive and aware, and love providing your companions with positive reinforcement when exhibiting desirable behaviors. I go with your dog's pace, and even offer trips to the dog park if you believe your furry friend needs to get out more than a walks worth of energy!

As other services go, please contact me and I will do my best to satisfy your needs! I have a huge fenced in yard, gazebo out back for easy shade and comfy lounging.

About: Ive been around animals all my life, growing up on my grandfather's dairy farm. I have previous professional experience with animals as a vet assistant. Can administer meds/ special feedings. Have personal experience with food allergies and understand contamination protocols. Im currently working part-time, so I have afternoons and evenings mostly free. Tuesday and Friday are fully free for pet care and dog walking services. I have experience with crates if that is needed to care for your pet in your home, and will check for a safe, relaxing environment upon leaving the house.

About: I have been lucky to be surrounded by cats and dogs my entire life! From a young age, I learned how to properly care for pets and show them lots of love. Additionally, I have experience with all sizes, ages, and personalities. I look forward to caring for your pet! I am a college student home for the summer, so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to care for your pets every day of the week besides Sundays, and am available most times of the day. In client's homes, I will follow all instructions left for the pet care. I mindfully manage pet food and water, potty needs, pet cleanliness, play, and so on. I also make sure the pet is safe and the house is kept orderly.

About: I was born into an animal-loving family and I have continued to instill this love for animals in my own children. I have had a menagerie of animals all of my life. At the young age of 12, I started walking the neighbors' dogs and going to their houses when they were out of town to feed, water, and walk their pets. In college, I worked part-time in several different veterinary clinics. I am still very well connected to the veterinary world so if I am unsure of something involving my pets, I am able to reach out to get an answer pretty quickly. Over my lifetime of 40 yrs. I have had at least 20 dogs, 10 cats, several rabbits, horses, chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters, and a few reptiles (but no snakes). In my full-time job, I work from home for 3 days/wk and then I go to the office 2 days/wk. I have some flexibility with my full-time job to come and go. I have a 1/2 acre that is fenced. I have 3 dogs- a Newfoundland, Black Lab, and a Beagle. All of my dogs are rescues. I know that I rescued them but as cheesy as it sounds, most days I feel like they rescued one. Each of them has their own personality, which I love. Since I work from home the majority of the time, I am home more than most people. My dogs are usually always by my side when I am home. My dogs love to jump on the bed or couch and get snuggles. I would treat your animals the same way I treat mine- with love and snuggles.

“Another wonderful walk with Angela!!! Zena seems to really enjoy her time with Angela. If you want someone who goes over and above, Angela is your go to fur baby caretaker!!!”


“Bekah was great! She took great care of my dog and cat while I worked a 12-hour shift with an additional 2-hour commute. She sent pictures of the time she was here, and even brought in a package I had delivered so it wouldn’t sit outside all day! I will definitely rebook with Bekah!”

“Leigh did a great job! She showed up on time and was extremely nice. Apollo is in great spirits. Thank you!”

Makena G.
“Makena is a life long lover of all animals. I have frequently called her "the animal wisperer." She somehow has a second sense about her that even the most timid, anxious, abused, and neglected animals seem to connect and immediately feel safe with her. My super protective and anxious Australian shepherd would go absolutely bonkers at the mention of her name. They had a special connection that not many could develop with my crazy guy! Her huge heart for the love she shares with animals has made her an amazing person. Sometimes the love of a pet and their love for you is the best connection and one of the most meaningful types of relationships we develop in life. Blair her dog is treated better than most humans and Makena is her best friend! She loves playing in the water, taking rides, going on trails. Makena is the owner, but Blair is the boss! She does anything and everything to keep her at her happiest. Makena's extensive history for working with other people's most precious pets makes her an exceptional candidate for this position. I have no doubt that Makena will excel! As I have noted, with her love of animals, devotion to the happiness of animals, and caring heart, she will without a doubt win over her client's and their pets!”
